@jdoe0001 @mathmate

Answer 3

By proportion:
FG/BC=EH/AD
FG/14 = 3x/2x
Solve for FG (in metres)
Note: I have never seen a photocopier this big!

Answer 4

Do i multiply both sides?

Answer 5

the ratio for "all" sides is the same 2:3, and that's also true for BC to FG

Answer 6

\(\bf\cfrac{14}{FG}=\cfrac{2}{3}\impliedby \textit{solve for "FG"}\)

Answer 7

i got 21
